News, Top News


Phoenix, Arizona–(Newsfile Corp. – April 20, 2022) – The Stock Day Podcast welcomed Pressure BioSciences, Inc. (OTCQB: PBIO) (“PBI” or “the Company”), a leader in the development and sale of innovative, broadly enabling, pressure-based instruments, consumables, and specialty testing services for the worldwide life sciences and other industries. President and CEO of the Company, Mr. Richard T. Schumacher, joined Stock Day host Mr. Everett Jolly.

Mr. Jolly began the interview by asking: “Could you please give my audience an update on the progress Pressure BioSciences is making towards the commercial release of your UST platform later this year?”

Mr. Schumacher replied: “We are working hard at that, we really are. UST is an amazing technology as you and your listeners know. It is a very innovative technology with enormous potential in a myriad of industries. I suppose the easiest way to describe the power of the UST platform is to simply say that we make oil go into – and stay in – water. Thus, any oil-based active ingredient, whether it is a nutraceutical like CBD, a vitamin like D3, a pharmaceutical like prednisone, or even a cosmetic or agrochem product, when processed with the UST platform, will become highly water-soluble, long-term stable, and significantly more bioavailable to the water-based systems of humans, other animals, and plants. This means that far more of the oil-based active ingredient will be absorbed, thus making it available to perform its intended function (such as pain relief, inflammation reduction, or wellness improvement). That is what our UST platform does and does very well – it reduces solutions of oil-based active ingredients into nanoemulsions, which in turn significantly increases the bioavailability and reduces the cost of manufacture of the product. The UST platform is a proprietary system, with seven issued patents and lots of additional intellectual property surrounding this technology. But we need to start increasing revenue and moving towards profitability, so part of our plan is to commercialize the UST platform in 2022.”

Mr. Schumacher continued: “For us to successfully commercialize this new and unique technology, we need the data and other information that Ohio State University is generating with the BaroShear system, and we need introductions to food and beverage companies worldwide. This is right up Ohio State’s alley: they are a globally recognized food and beverage academic institution with a rich history of accomplishments in the food and beverage industry. PBI and Ohio State announced a food Consortium a few months ago, the purpose of which is to combine the capabilities of academia and industry and use them to develop the UST process to make safer, more nutritious, clean-label (no chemical additives) liquid foods and beverages. The Consortium is planning a gala unveiling event in the May/June 2022 timetable, to promote the UST platform to many companies in the liquid food and beverage industry.”

Mr. Schumacher then shared that the Company is currently looking to build four new BaroShear MAX UST systems, with two ear-marked to be installed in the Boston area and the other two in the San Francisco Bay area by the Fall of 2022. These systems will be used for third-party, arm’s length fee-for-service (tolling) purposes, as the Company believes this is the fastest and best way to generate appreciable revenue from the UST platform.

Mr. Schumacher elaborated on the development of the tolling service: “During the five to six months we will need to build these four instruments, we’re going to be talking to a lot of food and beverage companies, looking at getting contracts. To that end, we are already talking to small, well-funded companies to very large multi-billion-dollar international companies. We would like to have contracts in hand by the end of September so that we hit the ground running when the doors to the tolling centers open for business in early October 2022. At the same time, we plan to build 12-15 BaroShear systems to be placed into food and beverage companies’ hands in early 2023 under a “lease and license” program. These systems will all be under contracts that carry a monthly lease plus a usage fee.”

Mr. Jolly then asked: “Where are you with the Company’s financial improvements?”

Mr. Schumacher explained: “We went through a very rough time a few years ago. We took on about $6.5 million dollars of expensive debt in order to not just survive, but to grow – and we did. But we knew we had to free the Company up from this debt, and with a lot of hard work and help from good investors, this expensive debt is now down to about $1.2 million. Total debt has not decreased that much, but almost all of our former expensive debt has been paid off with equity or better debt or converted into PBIO common stock at $2.50/share.”

Mr. Schumacher continued: “With respect to our remaining debt, most of the lenders have agreed to convert into PBIO common stock at $2.50 per share.”

Mr. Jolly commented on the Company’s planned uplist for 2022 and asked about progress in this regard. Mr. Schumacher shared: “We definitely want to uplist the company to either the Nasdaq or the New York Stock Exchange in 2022. This process generally takes a number of months. Knowing what we have to do, and already planning on how to do it, we are confident we can get it done this year.”

Mr. Schumacher continued: “We think that the best time for PBIO to uplist would be in the Fall, concomitant with or just after the initial commercialization of the UST platform. The excitement of seeing the UST platform in the field, fulfilling contracts for the nanoemulsification of various oil-based active ingredients, added to the revenue that we believe these services will be engendering, should give us a lot of much-needed support during the uplist process.”

Mr. Jolly then asked: “Could you give us an update on the Company’s metrics?”

Mr. Schumacher replied: “We have about 8 million common shares outstanding. We do have other shares in the form of Preferred Stock, as disclosed in our filings. All warrant shares are at a conversion price of $3.50/share, or more. There are no registered shares underlying the warrants, so there is no warrant overhang.”

To close the interview, Mr. Schumacher elaborated on the Company’s potential as they continue to move towards the commercialization of their UST platform, while also growing their other product lines. He thanked shareholders for their understanding, patience, and support and encouraged listeners to keep up-to-date on PBI’s current and upcoming projects.

VERNON, BCJan. 13, 2022 /CNW/ – Doseology Sciences Inc. (CSE: MOOD) (“Doseology” or the “Company”) announces the appointment of Maryam Marissen as Chief Executive Officer and Director, effective immediately. Outgoing interim CEO and co-founder Daniel Vice will remain involved with the Company as an independent director.

Ms. Marissen is an accomplished business leader, entrepreneur, and marketing strategist. With over two decades of relevant leadership experience, she brings a valuable combination of consumer product marketing, healthcare, and government relations experience to her new position. Ms. Marissen helped establish one of the first online personal care and wellness e-commerce stores in North America, and grew sales to several million dollars annually. She recently served as Managing Director of a national government relations and public affairs agency, overseeing advocacy campaigns on matters such as healthcare, education, and public policy.

As co-founder of a Vancouver biotech startup, Marissen was involved in psychedelic research for therapeutic applications, consulting with academic, industry, and regulatory stakeholders to develop clinical pathways to patient care. Since last fall, she has been advising Doseology on product research and commercialization strategy while preparing for the leadership role.

Ms. Marissen commented, “It’s a personal calling and an honour to lead Doseology during this next stage. Public advocacy for healthcare has long been my passion, so I’m excited to continue addressing mental health challenges by getting new solutions to the people who need them most, in a safe and medically-supervised way.”

Regarding the changes made to Health Canada’s Special Access Program (SAP) on January 5th, Ms. Marissen added, “I commend Health Canada for their recent amendment of the Special Access Program, which makes psychedelic-assisted therapies including those with psilocybin available to more Canadians in need. As the efficacy of such treatments is further proven by research I believe that Canada’s progressive approach may become a model for the world.”

Board Chair Ralph Olson added, “We recognize the tremendous achievements from outgoing CEO Daniel Vice, who will remain actively involved as an independent director”. On the role transition, Mr. Vice commented, “All of our work so far has led us to this proud moment. Maryam has the experience and vision we believe is required for the upcoming challenges of growth, further research, and commercialization. I’m excited to see Doseology enter this new phase and help move the entire industry forward.”

Under Ms. Marissen’s leadership, Doseology will focus on cultivation of functional mushrooms, and establishing clinical services to create profitable revenue streams. The company’s application for a Health Canada Dealer’s License was filed in November, and once approved, will allow for psilocybin-related research and cultivation. In preparation for the Dealer’s License, R&D along with channel partnerships are strategic goals.

TORONTO, December 30, 2021–(BUSINESS WIRE)–FSD Pharma Inc. (NASDAQ: HUGE) (CSE: HUGE) (FRA: 0K9A) (“FSD Pharma” or the “Company”), a life sciences holding company dedicated to building a portfolio of assets and biotech solutions, announced today that its Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase by the Company of up to 2,000,000 of its Subordinate Class B Voting Shares (the “Subordinate Voting Shares”) from time to time over the next 12 months at prevailing market prices in order to allow the Company to use its excess cash reserves to strategically return value to shareholders.

“FSD Pharma is focused on the advancement of its drug candidates toward the clinic; however, with over USD $39.3 million in cash and cash equivalents on our balance sheet as of September 30, 2021, we recognize there may be a strategic opportunity to enhance shareholder value without compromising our ambitious growth plans,” commented Anthony Durkacz, Interim CEO of FSD Pharma. “We believe that our stock is significantly undervalued. This will allow us to continue investing in our future, while, at the same time, also investing in the exceptional value that our own shares represent.”

The Company will purchase up to 2,000,000 Subordinate Voting Shares, being approximately 5% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Subordinate Voting Shares as of the date hereof. The share repurchase program will commence on January 4, 2022 and terminate on December 30, 2022, unless terminated earlier by the Company. The share repurchase program does not obligate the Company to purchase any Subordinate Voting Shares. If management decides it has a better use for its cash reserves, it is under no obligation to continue to purchase Subordinate Voting Shares and share purchases may be suspended or terminated at any time at the Company’s discretion.

The actual number of Subordinate Voting Shares purchased, timing of purchases and purchase price will depend on market conditions. The Company will purchase Subordinate Voting Shares through the facilities of the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”) at the prevailing market price on the CSE at the time of purchase, subject to limitations imposed by applicable securities laws. All Subordinate Voting Shares Purchased by the Company shall be cancelled.

Forward Looking Information

Certain statements contained herein are “forward-looking statements.” Often, but not always, forward-looking statement can be identified by the use of words such as “plans”, “expects”, “expected”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “intends”, “anticipates”, “hopes”, “planned” or “believes”, or variations of such words and phrases, or states that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might”, “potentially” or “will” be taken, occur or be achieved. Forward-looking statements contained in this press release include the comments made with respect to the Company’s normal course issuer bid, advancing the Company’s research and efforts to enhance shareholder value. FSD cannot give any assurance that such forward-looking statements will prove to have been correct. The reader is cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this press release.

Since forward-looking statements relate to future events and conditions, by their very nature they require making assumptions and involve inherent risks and uncertainties. The Company cautions that although it is believed that the assumptions are reasonable in the circumstances, these risks and uncertainties give rise to the possibility that actual results may differ materially from the expectations set out in the forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause such material differences include without limitation: the fact that the drug development efforts of both Lucid and FSD BioSciences are at a very early stage; the fact that preclinical drug development is uncertain, and the drug product candidates of Lucid and FSD BioSciences may never advance to clinical trials; the fact that results of preclinical studies and early-stage clinical trials may not be predictive of the results of later stage clinical trials; the uncertain outcome, cost, and timing of product development activities, preclinical studies and clinical trials of Lucid and FSD BioSciences; the uncertain clinical development process, including the risk that clinical trials may not have an effective design or generate positive results; the potential inability to obtain or maintain regulatory approval of the drug product candidates of Lucid and FSD BioSciences; the introduction of competing drugs that are safer, more effective or less expensive than, or otherwise superior to, the drug product candidates of Lucid and FSD BioSciences; the initiation, conduct, and completion of preclinical studies and clinical trials may be delayed, adversely affected, or impacted by COVID-19 related issues; the potential inability to obtain adequate financing; the potential inability to obtain or maintain intellectual property protection for the drug product candidates of Lucid and FSD BioSciences; and other risks. Further information regarding factors that may cause actual results to differ materially are included in the Company’s annual and other reports filed from time to time with the Canadian Securities Administrators on SEDAR (www.sedar.com) and with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on EDGAR (www.sec.gov) under the heading “Risk Factors.” Any forward-looking statement contained in this release speaks only as of its date. The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statements, except to the extent required by applicable securities laws.
